AN "ACT" IN CoNTEMPT.

The supposition is that the Restriction
Act" so-called, is law, and that it is being
enforced. But the ease and frequency
with which the Chinese evade it make
the Law jeer and a laughing-stock. With
the arrival Of every China steamer there
is load of Chinese without certificates
who hope to swear their way ashore. Still
another batch has the requisite certificate
per head, and the writ of habeas corpus
being invoked in the case of any chal-
lenged immigrants, they are brought be.
fore the Courts, and by perjury and with
the aid of Consul Bees detectives, and the
agents of the Six Companies, fully nine.
tenths manage to remain ashore. A great
deal of harsh criticism of the Federal
Court is INDUCED in by the press, but the
probability is that it is all unjust that
the Court is helpless in the matter, and
bound to accept the proofs made before it
The difficulty lies in the frauds perpetrated
in the matter of certificates. These paper.

facts. As an obstacle, the Restriction Act
has lessened immigration from China but

and thus to cultivate lawlessness. 1t does
seem that the scheme of the law was blum,
dering from the outset in its provisions for
securing respect for it. 1t ought to have
been possible, and was, for Congress to
have so legislated that false personation
under certificate would be next to i'm.

of the Act and the lameness of the Treas

held in contempt by the Chinese and very
largely fails to effect the end for which If

AID srnIcr OF Low Assrss,,rvrs

We find, as far as the country north of the
American river is concerned. that the large
iand grants are assessed as high per acre as the
small parcels Immediately contiguous, though
not as high, appars ntly, as land of the same
character situated in other portions of the
county. We find also, speaking in a general
way that the assessments on lands north of the
American river are less in proportion to their
cash value than those on lands south of that
stream. This state of things may be ascribed to
the fact that Deputy Assessors work by districts
and that the same deputy has assessed for a
great many years the lands north of the Ameri-
can, and he has probably failed to apply to
them the increase in value sustained by all
county lands. Aside from The special instances
furnished in this report illustrating this point.
the discrepancy can be made still more apps-
rent by mapping of south OF the American a
district equal in territory and conditions to that
north of il and comparing their aggregate as
sessed values.
Concerning the large tracts of land north of
the American river, toward which public atten-
ton has for years been directed your Committee
submits the following facts gained by them:
